tigerstyle18 Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 What would you say is an acceptable price range for monthly tuition at a MA school? When two tigers fight, one dies and the other is mortally wounded.
spinninggumby Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 I'd say about.....$100 a month maybe? Unless you get a good deal you can maybe even get down to a monthly rate of 60 or 70 but usually in those cases you have to sign a contract to stay there longer. If it's over $100, it's probably too much unless there is something special about the school or the training (i.e. very rare, very hard-core, etc.) 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines'William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND'
tigerstyle18 Posted April 16, 2002 Author Posted April 16, 2002 I supose there is something to be said about the quality of martial arts instruction that is really cheap. I guess you get what you pay for. When two tigers fight, one dies and the other is mortally wounded.
G95champ Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 I teach and train in West Varginia. Now we are a poor state and if you want to keep a class going here you can't charge that much. However I know guys who charge over 100.00 a month. Most schools in southren WV charge between 25 and 45 a month depending on number of classes each week. I try to avg about 5 a class and never anymore than 35 a month. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
tigerstyle18 Posted April 17, 2002 Author Posted April 17, 2002 I wish MA were that inexpensive in southern California. When two tigers fight, one dies and the other is mortally wounded.
Taikudo-ka Posted April 17, 2002 Posted April 17, 2002 In Australia I think most places are about $50 - $100 per month (which is only $25-$50 US). I pay $70. I've seen a big Wing-Chun Academy in Chinatown in Sydney which charges $99 or so per month. Other places are less. There is a Goju school run by Merv Oakley, who was a direct student of Gogen Yamaguchi, which only charges about $60 per month. (US$30) KarateForums.com - Sempai
Shoto Tiger Posted April 17, 2002 Posted April 17, 2002 I pay £42.00 a month to go 3 times a week to Shotokan and Self Defence - just over $60.00, but so far I find it worth it Melanie---------------Be nice if I get this right one day...
Roc Posted April 17, 2002 Posted April 17, 2002 Because where I train it's only a small country town so it costs $35 a month (this is in Australia don't forget so it's about 15-20 US).
karatekid1975 Posted April 17, 2002 Posted April 17, 2002 Wow! Shoto, I'm movin to your country or Taikudo's. I pay $100 a month. I live (well the area where the school is) is every "yuppie" where the "well-off" people with money live, so I would have to go to Rochester to get cheaper rates, but I really like my school. I did find a Shotokan school that charges $60 to $70 a month, and they offer a lot more than my school does, but it's an hour away. Laurie F
shotochem Posted April 17, 2002 Posted April 17, 2002 I pay $80 month here on LI. I can take class as often as I like (and I do ). Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
